Europe towards Exascale

The race towards Exascale is highly competitive. Global research efforts focus on the known challenges: energy efficiency, scalable system software, programming models, interconnect and memory technology as well as resilience. The DEEP projects DEEP, DEEP-ER and DEEP-EST are an innovative European Commission funded response to these challenges. The developments achieved in the first project DEEP in terms of the pioneering hardware architecture (Cluster-Booster approach) as well as the system software (ParaStation Global MPI) and programming model (OmpSs) form the basis for the two follow-up projects. Whereas the DEEP-ER consortium focused on the mentioned challenges of resiliency and I/O, the DEEP-EST project extends the Cluster-Booster concept to a Modular Supercomputing Architecture (MSA). The MSA extends the architecture by a Data Analytics Module and considers topics like energy efficiency, ressource management and scheduling.
